Dr. Greg Little shares a couple of images related to his explorations off Bimini. The small Bahamas island of Bimini, located in the Bermuda Triangle, has been scrutinized for archaeological remains, possibly related to Atlantis...

The new Iceman photoscan website allows you to explore the body of the famous mummy known as Otzi the Iceman in amazing detail, including 3D images. Discovered in a glacier in the Alps in 1991, Otzi is thought to have died around 3300 BC.

Monday night's guest, Dr. Bruce Goldberg, sent us some images to accompany his appearance. Included in the pictures are graphics depicting how "parallel souls" and "soul mates" are formed, ancient artwork and currency with possible UFO elements, and maps which may show the location of Atlantis and other lost worlds.

Archaeologists in Egypt are hopeful that they have finally discovered the long sought-after tombs of Cleopatra and Marc Anthony. The potential breakthrough in their search is the result of radar scanning which has found three different locations that could be the burial site of the historic duo.

Japan boasts a wide variety of strange mummified relics. Some, like the purported mummies of "river imps" and flying demons, border on the fantastic. Others, like the remains of self-mummified monks, are all too real. Pink Tentacle showcases a litany of Japanese mummies, but be forewarned, some of the images are rather graphic.

First hour guest, archaeologist & cryptozoologist Dennis Swift spoke about new discoveries, such as the fossil remains of a giant raptor found in Argentina that would have measured between 16 to 21-feet long. He also discussed "living dinosaurs," creatures thought to be extinct, yet reports and evidence he's gathered, suggest they may have been alive in the last few hundred years.

Accidentally discovered in 1963, Turkey's Derinkuyu is a true archeological wonder. Descending 20 levels deep, the sophisticated subterranean city was used by native Turks to hide from invading armies. More on this underground marvel, including images, here.

The mysterious Nazca Lines in the desert of western Peru were created on such a huge scale that the shapes (such as the pictured Spider) can only be perceived from the air. Check out a set of photos posted on Sacred Destinations, and an Archaeological Map from Mystery Peru.

Egypt's Sphinx might originally have had the head of a lion, two researchers recently suggested. Because the head and body of the Sphinx are disproportionate, the face of a pharaoh, possibly modeled after Khufu, could have been re-carved on the monument at a later date.

Patrick Cooke has documented descriptions in the Bible of what we could consider legendary or cryptozoological creatures, including giants, dragons, unicorns, cockatrices (pictured), fiery flying serpents, and sea monsters. Check out his Biblical Bestiary for specific citations.

The genome of the Ice Age woolly mammoth has been pieced together using DNA from a hair sample preserved in the Siberian permafrost. Most scientists, however, are doubtful that ancient DNA could be used to bring back an extinct species. More at BBC News.

First hour guest, author Lionel Fanthorpe (pictured with his wife Patricia) spoke about the Chase Vault in Barbados. In the burial vault, coffins of deceased family members were found moved around and in disarray, even though the vault had been sealed with a marble slab, he recounted. He also talked about the positive side of Voodoo.

Remote viewing expert Major Ed Dames, claims to have pioneered a system that allows a remote viewer to obtain a precise GPS-caliber geographical fix for any location. He recently spent some time conducting a search for Plato's "Atlantis" and believes he has found it. Dames hopes to provide sketches of the lost city in the near future.Graphic courtesy of Major Ed Dames

Speaking at this past weekend's Bay Area UFO Expo, (and guesting tonight on C2C) was Jason Martell, who has studied Planet X theories and ancient artifacts. One of the few younger researchers at the Expo, the black-clad Martell gave a slick Power Point presentation that showed images which could bolster the Ancient Astronaut hypothesis.

Laurence Gardner has drawn some fascinating conclusions about the roots of modern day Judeo-Christianity. In a lecture he presented at the Nexus Conference in 1998, he discussed how many stories, prayers, and rituals in Judaism and Christianity are actually hybrids or adaptations from older Egyptian, Canaanite and Mesopotamian traditions.
